Terms and Definitions
LED - Light Emitting Diode - small red lights on control board.
Control board- Located inside the metal box in the upper right corner.
Receiver - Located inside the metal box in the upper left corner - coax cable connected to it.
Remote/
Transmitter -
Hand held push button, which is used to operate the gate - sends signal to receiver.
Actuator - Connected to gate and hinge post - contains the motor, gearbox and extension tube.
Connector - Control board has three types of connectors. Two white 8-pin connectors (X1 and X2) are
used to connect actuator to control board, one green 12-pin connector (J2) (located bottom
center of control board) to connect third party receivers and accessories to control board and
one white 4-pin connector (J5) to connect Oracle Enabled DFGCU to control board. All three
are plug type and can be disconnected (unplugged from control board) without disconnecting
wires.
Dip Switches - Small switches, which are located on the control board in two places. The primary set DS1, is
located in the upper left corner and the secondary set, DS2, is located in the lower right corner
of the control board with functions listed beside each. See manual (page 17-18) for more
information.
Push Buttons - Three are located on the control board. “Open / Close Command” used to operate the gate,
“LED Indicator” used to activate the LED’s and “Reset” used to reset the control board after
current sensing twice before a limit is reached.
Note: Never run the actuator while it is disconnected from the gate. Damage may
occur. Always have the actuator connected during troubleshooting in case the
operator starts working to prevent damaging internal components.
